Thank you for posting these photographs. I've never seen any photos before of Tashkent. It looks quite interesting. I think it's quite sad how off the radar places like Uzbekistan are when it seems like an interesting place (same could be said for Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Georgia, etc.)

Yes, that is true. Its quite a beautiful system as well. The stations have that Stalinesque grandeur (chandaliers, etc.).
